Impact of Asymptomatic Intracranial Hemorrhage on Outcome After Endovascular Stroke Treatment

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Endovascular treatment (EVT) achieves high rates of recanalization in acute large‐vessel occlusion (LVO) stroke, but functional recovery remains heterogeneous. While symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (sICH) has been well studied, the prognostic impact of asymptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (aICH) after EVT is less certain ...

The Influence of Construction Joints on the Shear Behavior of Reinforced Self-Compacting Concrete Beams

Tikrit Journal of Engineering Sciences
Construction joints are essential in massive concrete structures since these structures cannot be cast in a single pour. Nowadays, Self-compacting concrete is preferred due to its ability to compact without vibration and segregation concerns.

Trace Nickel Activated Biphasic Core‐CuOii/Shell‐CuOi Secondary Microspheres Enable Room Temperature Parts‐Per‐Trillion‐Level NO2 Detection

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
An idea of designing novel sensors is proposed by creating appropriate Schottky barriers and vacancies between isomorphous Core‐CuOii/ Shell‐CuOi secondary microspheres and enhancing catalytic and spill‐over effects, and electronegativity via spontaneous biphasic separation, self‐assembly, and trace‐Ni‐doping.
